Shades Of Culture - Payin' Rent lyrics

(D-Shade) We bring that hip hop to make your crews flop And now we striving that much harder to get closer to the top Up to the apex Who's next to get swept by dialects I see that so clearly(?) 'cause you caught up in our vortex 'Til the next time we flip the text and throw down Rhymes will have to go down on paper, then we're stage bound Flipping that lingo like a poet had Kedo, or Judo A Juno, when we chopping with them vocal Antics and tactics, swinging semantics Simple schematics that we kicks for the fanatics Of hip hop, when we drop it's non-stop We gathering the ma**es like a farmer picks the crops I be the empty head filler, microphone guerrilla And if you see blank ward, then I might have to drillya Holding your soul, filling it up with the funk And if the mic was alcohol, then I guess we's getting drunk (CHORUS: D-Shade) People say they do, but they don't represent 'Cause before you represent, you got to start to pay the rent People say they do, but they don't represent Because before you represent, you got to start to pay the rent (Revolution (D-Shade)) A shaved head like (???) (???), a step from way back Check the playback, everything smooth I rhyme through (aight then) Check the moves, it's to prove we've been here for years Without tears, like I was Rory, end of story I read you mind man, just like a CAT scan Intelligence enhanced, hence expands my mind stance I'm full faced when I fornicate I'm never dissing anybody, instead I'm ditching bodies (alright then) With the vocal cords aided by the larynx Kind of muffled through the gas mask 'cause your corps stinks Your vibes have gotten rotten, from sitting in the sun I am the one who comes raw but well done Perfected, the funk fest like Beck did Respected by many as the ones who wrecked it Collected the rent upon the first because you're the tenants In rap, we won the pennant, no rules like bad lieutenant (CHORUS x2: Revolution) (???) “Life ain't funny when you got no money” (Scratched by DJ Storm) (Revolution) You turn the fresh page upon the calendar And it's the first of the month already and I'm ready To pay up on your land tax and your mortgage You didn't cough up the loot and caught the boot Now who's confused well who wins and who's lost As seen on TV but it's not Who's The Boss It's the unpredicted, self-inflicted, got addicted You didn't pay the rent and got evicted (D-Shade) Yo, peep who coming through, it's that Shades of Culture crew Reacting to fools, like Mr. Clean the residue Could be smooth or abrasive Even what we got to give To live another day inside this thing that they call showbiz But some be getting lost in the mist of the glitz So bring you q-tips and watch your back for the tricks And sheets we elevated, now it's starting our descent And the Shades will always sway, so that they can pay the rizzent (CHORUS x2: Revolution) (D-Shade (Revolution)) (Pay the rent) Shades of Culture, DJ Storm, Revolution, Dark Shade And the NDG crew in effect, my man Wilo Ah you know, DJ Choice My man Hank Zoobone, zoobone, zoobone sound you know (pay the rent) Fritz the man, you know Shades like that, payin' the rent Out
